What's Up Wednesday - CAS

Hi everyone! Tara C. here with your What's Up Wednesday post. I really admire the clean and simple technique. Those paper artists that truly excel in this area make it look elegant, beautiful and oh so simple. I thought I would give it a try and create my version of a CAS card.

Turns out this technique is super hard for me. I made 4 different fronts for this card! My favorite was the first I created but I kept thinking it was too simple so I kept right on trying. In the end, I used the very first one :) However, I stared and stared at this card thinking I needed to layer more stamps, more paper, more embellishments and had to keep reminding myself that the beauty of these cards is in their simplicity. I even went to bed and woke up the next day wondering about this card and how I should/could change it! But as I looked at it again, I realized how I quite liked it and what better way to show off the sweet images in the 'Marcel' stamp set.

A picture of the inside of the card which again is very clean and simple with a printed sentiment. The CAS technique is definitely something I am going to work on and hopefully someday I will be able to whip up one of these cards in less time than a super embellished one!
